AIPER Cordless Robotic Pool Vacuum, Self-Parking Technology, Portable, Ideal for Above-Ground Flat Pool up to 40 Feet, Grey

I purchased this in late March. Ive had nothing but trouble from this pool vacuum. I'm so fed up with it, I want to throw it against a wall and shatter it into 1000 pieces! Its constantly losing charge and not working for the entire time it claims it will. At most, I get 45 mins out of it. It doesn't pick up sand nor dead algae, just pushes it all around the pool. It barely picks up small leaves half the time. You can't reuse it in a very timely manner after using it because you have to wait for it to completely dry out b4 hooking it back up to its charger and waiting for it to recharge. Its difficult to open, clean out, then reassemble for the next use. I have a 24 foot round above ground pool and this thing is honestly absolutely useless! I rarely if ever leave a bad review, but this product deserves it. Do yourself a favor and purchase a pool vac at a higher price point that will do what it says it will.*EDIT; after posting my review, the seller (Aiper) reached out to me to make things right. They sent me a replacement vacuum the Scuba E1 for free. I'm delayed in updating my review because we wanted to use it for awhile and see how well it does. We have a 24 ft round above ground pool and this Scuba E1 is phenomenal! Pics in my review are for this machine (b4 it cleaned, during, and after). It is much stronger than the vacuum originally purchased, has a nice basket with a tight mesh so things don't escape. It absolutely runs its full 90 min time unlike the version we first purchased. It picks up the sand that is constantly in the bottom of the pool (we live in Florida) and any and all leaves from our many nearby trees, too. It works fast and complete. We are 100% more than satisfied with the Scuba E1. More than anything, we are blown away by the more than excellent communication from Aiper's customer service as well as their dedication to making sure we have a product we can be happy with. Thank you so much, Aiper! When we need to purchase again in the future, we will absolutely buy another Aiper.

My oval 18x33 above ground pool was installed late October of last year so it was just filled and covered for the winter. I bought this pool vacuum just before opening season and I didn't have very high hopes for it but thought it was worth a try. I have been shockingly impressed. I have not used the manual vacuum that came with my pool, box has not even been opened. This little machine is amazing!!! It charges faster than the reported time. Mine is fully charged in 70 minutes and runs for about 2 hrs. It always docks at the side of the pool for easy access. I do have to run it about 3 or 4 times to thoroughly clean the entire pool. It picks up sand and general grit, small twigs, most leaves, and even the occasional pebble and dead insect. I have had no experience with any algae so far so I can't comment on that. This thing has been worth every dollar I paid for it. So if you are on the fence about making this purchase, stop hesitating just do it!!!

5-29-25 Updatethe bigger and "better" replacement unit has just stopped working. it charges and begins to run, but all it runs for about five minutes or so and then just completely stops. I had such high hopes for this replacement unit, but it seems to have similar issues to the first unit; not made well enough to work in the long-term apparently************i'm updating my review after customer service reached out to me when my first machine failed after a few short months. They sent me an upgraded machine free of charge and it actually works much much better than the original purchase. I would recommend purchasing the seagull model, which is far superior in performance than the entry-level model.This machine worked wonderfully, at first. After a few months it stopped charging, so I went through the warranty repair process and they fixed the machine and sent it back after approximately 2 weeks total. After using it 2 times, the machine is having issues again. Not sure what to do at this point, I really need this to clean the pool but it seems unreliable and not made well enough to last. I'm going to reach out to tech support one more time to try to get this resolved.

I have used this a couple of times now. I have a 21' round above ground pool. The pool had some of those long pine needles and leaves in bottom. It did picks up the needles and some of the leaves. The larger leaves it did not get so well. But as this is mentioned in product description I did expect it may not get everything. Seems to clean pretty well. When battery ran down, it did not stop right by the side of pool, but I was still able to reach with included hook. (you need your own pole, but no need to buy hook for retrieval. That was included) After taking out of pool I emptied and sprayed out bottom of cleaner and filter that comes with it. I liked how it is easy to clean and assemble batch together. Will post update if anything changes.

Works as it should. Parks by the wall as advertised making it super convenient to retrieve for recharging.

I use this cleaner on my 20Ft above ground pool. Easy to clean. Comes with a larger pole hook, unfortunately it did not fit the pole that came with my pool as mine is smaller. It picks up larger leaves than it says it is supposed to. Charges quick but would be nice to have a little longer battery life, but sufficient for the price. Easy to use just push the button and drop it in.

This was the best thing I never knew I needed! My husband suggested buying this. I was always trying to vacuum the pool manually but this is just 'set it and forget it'! It picks up all the small branches, leaves, sand, dirt, etc. Will run for 90 minutes and takes 2 1/2 hours to charge. We do have some small wrinkles on the bottom of our pool but it goes over them just fine. Make sure that when you lift it out of the pool you do it quickly, otherwise all the debris will start dumping back into the pool. I found out the hard way the first time we used it. Highly Recommend!!! I hope this thing lasts forever!!
